It is a proud dance that you do, claiming moral superiority for people that murdered and betrayed their neighbors, no wonder you fled to foreign lands.
Wyoming Valley, Penn, did you ancestors participate or at least aquess in the murder of the settlers there? You may have a Robinson in the Family.
What year was that Bill ???
and where
and who were your ancestors...
No I have no Robinson...
do you have an Arnold ???
no wonder you fled to foreign lands.
_____________________________________________
Did the 5 unarmed women and 31 children who fled north unescorted from the Susquehanna River Valley to Fort Niagara do something bad to your ancestors ???
I have all the names so who did what ...
Maybe the 3 year old youngest son of my ancestor ???
He was bound for the War of 1812 so Im sure he already had ideas of doing Rebels harm...
Maybe my other family and that 10 year girl who had just lost her father, murdered by the Rebels on the Mohawk River...
Was it your ancestors water she stole that time she went to the creek with her bucket as she flrd from the Rebels with her widowed mother and widowed grandmother ???
Maybe she thought of her young teenaged cousin, raped and murdeered by the Rebel guards in Fort Dayton and plotted revenge...???
What of her thoughts years later, when now a widow the descendants of those Rebels invaded her new homeland and burnt down her house on July 19, 1814 ???
Maybe she thought kindly towards them because at least they did leave her the barn to live in, of only a few left standing in town..
and thankfully they never found the saw mill and the grist mill out on the edge of town which still stands to this day...
and maybe if she had known that the officer from the lower colonies who ordered the burning and distruction on a path through the province of Ontario was tossed out of the American Army in disgrace because of it she may have felt that at last the Rebels had found a heart...
all she knew at that time was to gather her little family around her and start from scratch once again, thankful that this time nobody died and that she still had 2 good hands and a strong back...
and could offer shelter in her old barn to her neighbors...
American Exceptionalism at its best...
Yankee Knowhow and gumption...
I am SOOO proud of my 4th great grandmother...
BTW with their homes burnt and their lands confiscated and a price on their heads there was nothing to come back for...
And yet Mitt’s ancestor have no effect on him.
HMMmmm.....
no wonder you fled to foreign lands.

You seem to know a lot about me and my illustrious forebears...
and if so you also know that I didnt flee anywhere ...
I returned to my roots...
Unless America is foreign to you...
Its not to me...
My family has been here since 1623...
One hundred years before yours...
and more importantly TWO HUNDRED years before the family of your boy Wee Willie...
and while the Romneys in all the generations they have been here have stealthily avoided serving in the US military...
My family have fought and died for America and with Americans in all the Wars...
(including both sides of the War Between the States...)
I always knew I was American and had a right to be proud...
God Bless America...
no wonder you fled to foreign lands.
